Question

Complete the sentence with the best option from those given below.

All ___ he said was right.

• A. which
• B. who
• C. whose
• D. that

Answer 1

The correct option is D that

Relative pronouns have two functions- Like other pronouns they stand for a noun or pronoun placed before them and like conjunctions they join subclauses with main clause and start the adjective clause.

In the given sentence the subject is "all".

"Who" is always used to set up a relative clause that describes a person, while "that" is used to describe an object or another non-human being.

"Whose" is the possessive form of "who".

Since the subject is not a person, we cannot use who or whose.

We can thus eliminate options B and C as incorrect.

"Which" is also used for an object. When describing objects and non-human beings, "that" is used to introduce a defining relative clause, while "which" is used to introduce a non-defining clause.

Since this is a non-defining clause, 'that' must be used.

Thus option D is the correct answer and option A is incorrect.
